The property purchased was that of Mr..
e ". Schreeb, situated on the south bluff,
east Of the principal line of residences. 1t

the long point east, extending and widening
TO the west aud lying upon the brow of the

and the other 63. Two streets running north
and south will be laid out upon the larger
portion Of the ground. Water mains will be
laid from the Cation works and sewer pipes

4 meeting Of the members Of the syndicate
was held last Saturday evening at Mr. SHOWS
law office and appointed an executive CON
mittee consisting of b A Cook, James Mil
ligan, Jr, d. IIspeman AMI Thomas Fullerton
The committee than elected James Milllgan,
.Jr.. as trustee to hold the title to the real
estate owned by the syndicate; b. b. snow,
president t. C. Allen, treasurer and Thos.
L. MacKinlay, secretary.
The above are the principal facts, nam's,
and figures connected with the new enter
prise. The plan Of the syndicate is to afford
new citizens and young men n chance to get
good homes cheap. The question is, Where
can Ottawa grow 1t i, conceded by every
one that 1t is growing and is bound to grow
If it goes westward it must grow into sand
bank or hollow out a hole in the solid rock.
On the north bluff the property is owned by
men who are sbuniantly able to hold it and
intend doing so. The east side is pretty
thoroughly populated already; so why, it is
asked, will not a large share Of the next few
years growth of Ottawa go to the south side?
The gentlemen Of the syndicate think it will
Improvements will be made upon the land
Immediately. One thousand trees will be set
The lots will be GO feet by l20 and the streets
so feet wide
II is the plan and intention of the syndi
cate to sell these lots at fair prices and on
easy terms, but to keep the neghborhood as
free as possible from any undesirable feat.
ures. For example, no lot will be sold un
less the purchaser will erect house to cost
$500 or upwards No deed will be given
except with the written condition tha, no
liquor shall ever be sold upon the premises,
1t is not desired to cucumber the purchaser
with rules and regulations, but the neig Dor
hood will be kept in every way good, and
pleasant, and desirable, if it be in the power
Of the syndicate TO keep it 50.
The prices at which these lots will be sold
have not yet been announced but il is stated
that the prices will be low and terms easy
The new citizens of the better class, the most
intelligent class, are wanted up there on the
new addition, and young men who are just
wanting homes al! these are the people
whose wants this new addition is intended
to supply. In some respects 1t has the ai
vantage over the addition over at the organ
factory. 1t is further removed from por-
tion Of the business Of Ottawa, Of course, but
then 1t is also farther removed from the fac
tories and the smoke and SCOT of the rail-
roads.
1t is reasonably certain that the lots on
this new addition will be sold as soon as they
are surveyed and the prices are announced.
